Reimbursement will be requested as provided for under Part 1709 of this title, for nonconsumable property lost, destroyed or damaged.

The amounts will be included in the expenses billed recipient by the military departments.

§ 230.4

Policy.

(a) Credit unions encouraged in the Department of Defense-(1) Federal Government policy. Federal Government policy regarding credit unions is stated in the Federal Credit Union Act (12 U.S.C., 1751 et seq.) and the U.S. Government Organization Manual.

(1) To establish convenient credit union facilities as cooperative organizations created for the purpose of stimulating systematic savings and creating a source of credit for provident or productive purposes.

(ii) To emphasize self-help and wise management of resources, thereby raising the standard of living, strengthening the family unit and increasing the selfreliance of the member.

(2) Department of Defense policy. The DoD:

(1) Recognizes the right of all military and civilian personnel to organize and affiliate with credit unions, without restriction or discrimination, formed pursuant to the Federal Credit Union Act (12 U.S.C., 1751 et seq.) or other duly constituted authority.

(ii) Will provide appropriate guidance and assistance in conduct of credit union operations.

(iii) Permits and encourages the operation of one credit union at each DoD installation without charge for accomodations when space is available: Provided, The commander responsible for allocating the space has determined that the credit union permits membership for all qualified military and civilian personnel without discrimination including, but not limited to, grade, rank, race, component, etc. At those installations where the credit union will not meet the foregoing standards of membership, commanders may encourage the formation of a second credit union which will meet the standards, and thereby receive the benefits of this Directive. With the approval of the membership involved and the regulatory authorities as stated in paragraph (c) of this section, mergers may also be accomplished to better serve the total Defense Community stationed on the installation.

(b) Recognition of and Assistance to Credit Unions. Credit unions organized by and for Defense military and civilian personnel are to be recognized and assisted at all echelons as important morale and welfare resources, and organized by law and regulation as cooperative associations for mutual benefit and selfhelp by:

(1) Encouraging and accumulation of savings and the granting of loans for provident purposes at reasonable rates of interest;

(2) Inculcating habits of thrift;

(3) Combating usury or the patronage of lenders who charge exorbitant rates of interest;

(4) Analyzing consumer credit problems including the true costs of installment buying;

(5) Counseling in family financial planning; and

(6) Providing experience in organization management and administration.

(c) Organization of credit unions serving DoD Personnel-(1) Federal Credit Unions. Credit unions organized as Federal Credit Unions are incorporated and operated under the authority granted by the Federal Credit Union Act, as amended (12 U.S.C. 1751 et seq.), are legal entities with specific powers and authorities as approved by law, and are examined periodically by the Bureau of Federal Credit Unions of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.

(2) State Credit Unions. Credit unions organized under State credit union laws operate on the same general princi

ples as Federal credit unions. Generally, State credit unions are under the jurisdiction of the State banking departments.

§ 230.5

Credit union operations in the Department of Defense.

Credit unions organized by and for DoD military and civilian personnel may be provided with the property and logistic support contemplated by § 230.6, provided operating policies are consistent with the following:

(a) Lending. In accordance with proven credit union practice, lending policies should be as liberal as possible and still be consistent with the interests of the credit union and the individual member. To be avoided are unnecessarily restrictive, unreasonable, or outof-date rules on the size of loans, type and amount of security, or waiting periods before loan eligibility can be granted. Special attention should be given to the youthful military member in pay grades of E-1, E-2, and E-3 in assisting such member to secure necessary loans for provident purposes.

(b) Counseling. Skilled counseling service, without charge, should be made available to Defense credit union members with every effort made to help the members, particularly the youthful and inexperienced serviceman and the young married families, to solve money problems, to budget, and to continue assistance and instruction until they can solve their problems without guidance.

(c) Savings. Members should be encouraged to participate in a regular savings plan:

(1) With reasonable limitations as to amounts which may be deposited at any one time or the total amount which may be held in shares; and

(2) By a reasonable dividend or return on savings.

(d) Relations-(1) Exchange of information. Cooperation, liaison and exchange of information between credit unions of all DoD components will be observed.

(2) By Credit Unions. All credit unions serving DoD personnel will cooperate with the installation commander, keep him advised of the credit union operation, including submission of a copy of the monthly financial report, other credit union publications, and invite him or his designees to attend annual meetings and other appropriate functions.
